Notes to Program:

Near the walk date check the program and preview for any notes on changes or additional information.

The starting date given for a multi-day activity is usually the day before the activity starts. For example, a weekend trip is usually shown as starting on the Friday because most people will travel the long distance to the activity area on the Friday evening. Check the preview and discuss with leader.

Bookings for Sunday walks. Refer to the relevant FAQ item. No telephone bookings for Sunday walks.

Bus transport (Sunday walks). Meet in Southbank Boulevard, south side of the Arts Centre, before 8:45am. Leader or deputy will be there; rain, hail or shine. Occasionally, if there is an event near Southbank Boulevard, the bus will leave from an alternative departure point and this will be noted on the walk program and preview.

Cancellation of Sunday walk booking: To qualify for credit, the leader of the walk must be notified before the walk and a satisfactory reason given. For credit notes see the Sunday Walks Co-ordinator or delegated person on Wednesday club nights.

Total Fire Bans. If a Total Fire Ban is declared for the Activity Area all Day Activities will be cancelled unless in Melbourne. For Multi-day Activities refer to the Total Fire Ban Policy and/or contact the Leader.

Extreme Heat. If the forecast Temperature is 38C or more for the Activity Area then all Day Activities will be cancelled. For Multi-day Activities refer to the Extreme Heat Policy and/or contact the Leader.

Elevation(s): Total Cumulative Elevation Rise over the length of a walk, derived from GPS records, if available, otherwise estimates derived from contour plots. These values are intended to give a rough indication of the effort required to undertake the walk. The higher the Total Cumulative Elevation Rise the hillier the terrain and/or the greater the elevation change between the lowest point and the highest point on the walk.
